Purrfect Pals: Hopeful Christmas cats
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The county’s animal shelter has five cats ready for adoption this Christmas week.
There is a kitten, several young cats and even a more mature fellow ready for new homes.
All of this week’s featured cats have been altered and vaccinated.
In addition to spaying or neutering, cats that are adopted from Lake County Animal Care and Control are microchipped before being released to their new owner. License fees do not apply to residents of the cities of Lakeport or Clearlake.
If you're looking for a new companion, visit the shelter. There are many great pets there, hoping you'll choose them.
The following cats at the Lake County Animal Care and Control shelter have been cleared for adoption (other cats pictured on the animal control Web site that are not listed here are still “on hold”).
